    Good news: The problem is mostly fixed.

    The other problem is that now my computer doesn't show anything every OTHER time I turn it on. Like, I turn it on, doesn't load anything, I manually turn it off, I turn it on again, works.

    Also, it went bonkers again on me once but it stayed on for like 6 hours without blacking out.

    Lol, it was on Vista Basic then I changed it to Aero and it froze. Got on LogMeIn, changed it to basic, started working, changed it to Aero, works still.

    I wonder if it's really dying. Anyway I can perform diagnostics?

    check with card manufacturer & nvidia to see if they have a diagnostic tool.

    Damnit, I think my card is dead. Anyway, my computer was connected via DVI-D which is on my video card. I have a VGA out in a different part of the computer and that works.

    Anyway, I think I'm going to have to mail my card to MSI or something (I still have the warranty from them, the card was made by them I believe) and they'll repair. I'd like it if they replaced it with something else though :p
